Louisiana State University
Backlog and Prioritizing Processing Project
Backlog and Prioritizing Processing Project
Goals:
• Identify collections that have adequate description and arrangement in their present state (or
will with minimal effort)
• Gather information to inform assigning processing priorities to the truly unprocessed collections
(both in terms of level of processing and order to be processed).
Database: This will be based on the form “backlog project” in OLAF.1
Fields:
• Describe existing arrangement and description
• Preservation issues‐‐condition and housing
• Privacy issues
• Recommendation for additional processing:
 Online record
 Rekeying existing finding aid
 Rehousing
 Additional minimal processing
 Additional full processing
 Minimal processing from scratch
 Full processing from scratch
• Fuller description of collection
• Processing priority level (see next page)
1 The “new fields” for this project were inserted into the main table of OLAF, then a query was created to identify
records in which the status is unprocessed or preliminarily processed. A form was then created that is linked to
that form. When info is entered through this form, it is actually entered in the main table of OLAF. Do not delete a
record without realizing you are deleting it from OLAF, not just the form, which represents the project.
